YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

The Spokesman

Yes ladies, Mr. Sell is single and searching for love.             p. Robbie Sell of Robbie Sell
With guns o’ plenty, a mean mustache and an apartment in Reno, Robbie Sell is nothing short of an American badass. After the tragic death of a once prominent snowboard career Robbie has recently [...]

Illegal Use of Hands

Todd’s busy, bored and ready to ditch the Olympics for some surf n’ turf and some family time in his sunny So-Cal home. In the mean time though, we’ll keep bugging him as he slowly loses his mind.
How do you feel about the bad press the American Snowboarders have been getting?
I think that when [...]

Yobeat is headed to the first Denver SIA, so check back over the next few days to see what’s new, what’s stupid, who’s there and if Denver can compare to Vegas. Below is our Preview Post, company names and real names have been removed so they aren’t alerted to our mischief.
Being on a media list [...]

While we have several dedicated columns, YoBeat also publishes individual and random articles. Every year a few of these articles  just don’t go over real well for one reason or another. In 2008 it was Josh Sherman who flipped out on us, this year the big B lost its top, but our controversy generally turns into your [...]

After an incredible Hump Day with Todd, it was decided Todd’s unique views on current events, toys, sex and life needed to be explored further. Since that fateful day Todd has sat down to answer five questions for the Yobeat audience to enjoy every Friday. Below are five of the better Q&A moments from the [...]

With the conclusion of 2009 and the first decade of the 21st century just days away Yobeat.com has decided to dedicate this week to the best of 2009. To start this week of wonder we bring you our first, our only, 2009 “You Choose” Awards Poll. Below are various polls to click n’ pick from [...]

Thanksgiving represents a very special time of year. First and foremost Turkey Day launches the holiday season — everyone enjoys the boozing, presents, and vacation days that come with the holidays — but winter is also kicked off by this glutenous day. Typically (but not so much this year) it is the hopeful opening day [...]

Remember Yobeat’s summer celebrity Will Bateman? He was the young man fortunate enough to snap his collar bone into a million pieces, have emergency surgery, spend 48 hours in the hospital, and have the entire ordeal filmed by Yobeat. If not maybe you’d remember his Hump Day? Well whatever, either way good old Will, now semi-healthy, has [...]

Yobeat’s Fan Mail department recently received this extremely odd email. In the email it stated that, “My girlfriend painted this of Gabby (Maiden), I think it is awesome, but I’d like to know what she thinks.  It is being sold by Stoked for 75 bucks - charity.” Upon opening the attachment and seeing the painting I again decided it [...]

We don’t know about you, but we’re getting bored with messing with the big B. It’s been fun, but it’s time to move on people. That said, we figured as a final thank you to all the brands who are awesome, and not trying to play hard ball with the media, we’ll give away some [...]

This video comes from Scottie Gallo. He is a Dirty Jersey dude who recently did something very rare in snowboarding, he graduated from big kid college. Now that Mr. Gallo has a nifty degree from NYU his  super education and massive brain power have combined to not only make him a huge Yobeat fan (duh) [...]

At this point every Yobeat reader should know we had our first truly amazing comment battle. One of snowboarding’s most prominent photographers, Tim Zimmerman, and one of snowboarding’s most unsponsored riders, Blake Geis, went head to head in an all out keyboard rope-a-dope of anger, wit, and sarcasm. Todd felt a bit lazy this week [...]

Recently we were talking about how sweet it would be to have a stop watch type device that automatically logged your airtime. Then you would know exactly how rad you had gotten each day.
Well, looks like our dreams have come true with an iPhone app/game called “Snow Motion.”

“After loading the game, the user puts the [...]

The Next Best Thing from the Northwest
Austin Sweetin is a happy-go-lucky kid from Washington, but put him on a snowboard or in front of Guitar Hero and he becomes a monster straight from the depths of Hell. I’ve known Austin for two years now and he has only gotten better at riding a stick of [...]

This is 2008

Sarah Morrison recently came up with the best life plan ever. Instead of trying to do things that are fulfilling and make you happy all the time, just do the most ridiculous things possible and appreciate the random and amazing occurrences that pop up each and every day. Ever since adopting this theory, [...]
